the reason you can't back up with a toad is because of the toad's steer wheels.
even with the most basic (non-articulating) tow-bar you won't ever be able to back up a toad.

you'd have to lock the steer wheels of the toad to be able to back it.

i can literally disconnect our toad in less than 60 seconds (by pulling 2 pins, 2 chains and the electrical connection)....connecting the toad takes no longer than disconnecting it.

anywhere a pusher bus can go, we can go (and then some). we're no longer or taller or difficult to steer than a pusher bus.

most parts accommodate up to 45 feet (or longer for some / pull thru slots).
I'm 42 feet long and have never had any problem. Smaller parts take a bit more back & forward action to get into a slot but i've only had to do that at one state park near me.
